The IMS study predicts that the market demand for lighting control equipment for commercial buildings will double from 2010 to 2017, with equipment shipments increasing from 29.6 million to 61.6 million. Most components are used to connect ballasts and require connection technology such as DALI or ZigBee.
One of the biggest drivers of launching a commercial building lighting control system is to reduce energy use. Although specific rules vary with building location, building owners must comply with energy laws. According to the US Department of Energy, a typical commercial building uses 25.5 of energy for lighting, so through a joint intelligent lighting control system, a building owner can effectively monitor and reduce the energy consumption of these systems.
According to IMS research analyst Phillip Maddocks, one of the reasons for implementing lighting control systems in commercial buildings is to comply with energy laws and reduce energy consumption, especially in the United States, which issued the Title24 and ASHRAE laws. Another driver is the implementation of compensation in the United States to facilitate the installation of lighting control systems. In other regions, such as Europe, although the same level of legislation does not exist, the trend to accept these systems is rising; building owners invest in highly intelligent lighting control systems to reduce building energy consumption.
Currently, lighting control systems are installed in commercial buildings using a range of wired and wireless communication technologies. The best standard at the moment is DALI; although several companies are currently offering their proprietary versions of the technology, they are not compatible with each other. However, eligibility criteria for ballasts and sensors are expected to be announced in 2013; this will drive the adoption of the DALI standard, which allows different manufacturers' lighting control systems to work together, which would be completely different from today's situation.
The 802.15.4 technology is widely used for wireless communications; however, in most cases, the closed nature of the lighting control industry makes the system proprietary. Daintree Networks has made progress in promoting the ZigBee standard and recently established a partnership with Philips to promote the ZigBee standard.
Later in the forecasting phase, the IMS study predicted that DALI is the most widely used lighting control protocol for all lighting control systems, with equipment shipments exceeding 90 million units between 2010 and 2017. The use of wireless technology is expected to increase, but proprietary wireless technology remains the most widely used.
During the forecast period, cable technologies such as DALI will still dominate, as most companies currently offer reliable wireless technology, and wireless technology has various problems and limitations. In addition, the emergence of DALI standards for sensors and ballasts, as well as the emergence of new DALI lighting control systems, such as the elitedali platform for control network solutions, allows DALI control to use the Niagara platform.
